North Star Miniatures / Osprey Games



Better known for their fantastic Men-at-War series, plus many, may more books that support historical wargaming and modelling, Osprey Books have turned their hand to publishing various Wargames Rules with partner companies such as Warlord Games and North Star Miniatures. As such they have set-up a sub-division of Osprey Publishing called Osprey Games.

North Star started as an online Wargames shop and has now diversified out to a number of different lines.

The partnership between North Star and Osprey Games has produced the popular 'Frostgrave' rule set and more recently 'Oathmark' rules. The partnership has now branched out into plastic figures to populate the Fantasy world that hey have created.

These figures are all in a Heroic 28mm scale and the frames are stamped with North Star Military Figures and Osprey Games for Copyright purposes, hence the listing here under both the North Star and Osprey banners.

Conquest Games - Medieval Knights


Box Art
This boxed set form Conquest Games is focused on the  at the period between 1100AD and 1200AD, just as colourful heraldry was beginning to be introduced and when armoured knights were beginning to assert their authority on the battlefield.

These are perfect for the European wars of the middle of the 12th to 13th Centuries, or the 1st and 2nd Crusades.

There are 16 x models in each box, which are provided on 1 x Command Frame, 3 x Figure Frames and 2 x Horse Frames. There is also a single Base Frame.

Mathematically that works out as 16 x Knights but 18 x Horses, which seems odd but should be viewed as a bonus!
